Official title: Suraxavir Marboxil And Oseltamivir for Influenza Prophylaxis Under a Hospital-based Setting
Run by Capital Medical University · NCT07236814 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will see if giving suraxavir marboxil or oseltamivir to hospital roommates of people with confirmed flu prevents them from getting infected.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are hospitalized patients aged 2 years or older who share a room with someone newly confirmed to have influenza and who can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are already infected at enrollment, are not hospitalized at the study site, are under 2 years old, or have contraindications to the study antivirals are unlikely to benefit from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Hospitalized patients with confirmed influenza (index cases) and their uninfected roommates (room contacts) are enrolled at a Beijing tertiary hospital. Room contacts are randomized 1:1:1 to receive placebo, suraxavir marboxil, or oseltamivir and are monitored for new influenza infection. The primary outcome is the rate of influenza infection among room contacts during the follow-up period. The trial includes patients aged 2 years and older and uses rapid antigen or nucleic acid testing on respiratory specimens to confirm infections.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce in-hospital spread of influenza and protect vulnerable hospitalized patients.
How similar studies have gone: Oseltamivir has previously been shown to reduce influenza transmission in close-contact settings, while suraxavir marboxil is a newer antiviral whose prophylactic effect is less well established.

* Age ≥ 2 years.
* Positive for influenza virus as determined by a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) or Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) on a respiratory specimen (e.g., oropharyngeal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, sputum, or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid).
(2) Inclusion Criteria for Room Contacts:
① Patients hospitalized at a participating medical institution.
* The subject and/or their legal guardian agrees to participate in this clinical study, has signed the informed consent form, and is able to comply with the protocol requirements for follow-up and complete all study procedures and assessments.
③ Age ≥ 12 years.
* Expected to remain hospitalized for ≥ 72 hours.
* Shares a room with at least one hospitalized index case who has been confirmed with influenza virus infection by RAT or NAAT on a respiratory specimen within the last 120 hours and developed influenza-related symptoms within the last 120 hours, and is expected to share the same room for ≥ 24 hours.
⑥ Negative for influenza virus as determined by a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) on a throat swab collected on Day 1.
3.Exclusion Criteria
(1) Index Cases There are no exclusion criteria for index cases. (2) Exclusion Criteria for Room Contacts:
* Room contacts with a known allergy to the active ingredients or excipients of the investigational drugs.
* Room contacts who have been diagnosed with or have had an influenza virus infection in the past 12 weeks.
* Use of any anti-influenza antiviral drugs within 2 weeks prior to screening, including: neuraminidase inhibitors, polymerase inhibitors, hemagglutinin inhibitors, and M2 ion channel blockers (e.g., Oseltamivir, Zanamivir, Peramivir, Favipiravir, Arbidol, Baloxavir Marboxil, Amantadine, or Rimantadine, or other anti-influenza drugs approved by the NMPA).
* Known to be pregnant or breastfeeding. (Subjects who suspect they may be pregnant must report this to the investigator, who will confirm with a pregnancy test).
* History of fever (axillary temperature ≥ 37.3°C) within 72 hours prior to screening.
* Child-Pugh class B or C, or an eGFR ≤ 60 mL·min-¹·(1.73 m²)-¹. ⑦ Any subject deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator.
